For every 100 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 80 buns.
It produces a total of 720 cupcakes and buns,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and buns per set
= 100 + 80
= 180
Number of sets
= 720 ÷ 180
= 4
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 100
= 400
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 80
= 320
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 400 - 320
= 80
Answer(s): (a) 400; (b) 80
